Leafs' next captain may be...
Not only is Pavel Kubina unlikely to be traded, but Cliff Fletcher is talking him up as a possible captain if Mats Sundin departs. With an Aug. 15 window to shop Kubina rapidly closing, the Maple Leafs' general manager yesterday listed the chance of dealing the $5-million defenseman as "less than 50%." "Any trade involving Pavel would have to be very advantageous for the Leafs," Fletcher said.

Hmm, tough call, it's not specifically a Sundin story... Yeah, I think so. Get bent T&R.
You mean Sundin won't be the C no matter what?

I don't know about this one. Maybe Cliff knows something the rest of us don't but, what I do know that Kubina is no Nicklas Lidstrom!

...guess Kabina pulled the short straw...
"...chance of dealing the $5-million defenseman as "less than 50%." ?
That's still more of a chance than the Leafs have of making the playoffs....zing!!

Captain Kangaroo. Yes, he's dead, but the Leafs won't know the difference.

I think it's safe to say the next Leaf captain, whoever he/she may be, will not be a memorable lad.
